Default Re: Mech. Special

I saw that listing yesterday, and searched this forum to see any related posts for this car. In the listing the seller said they tried forums for answers. I didn't find any related to fuel injectors and not starting. I remember seeing a seller listing this car (same problem) in FL along with a crashed version for sale on ebay about six months ago. I don't know if it's the same seller relisting it, or a buyer who never got it working.

I've made many purchases on ebay including cars and boats, and fortunately it's been mostly positive experiences. I remember one car listing where the seller said their father passed away and they were selling his hobby car. The listing said it was "not a show car", but he worked on it all of the time. Which to me was implying it was in very good condition. It was local, so I went and looked at it, and it was a piece of junk. It had a $300 paint job with paint on the interior door panels, and a two by four was used to hold up the hood.
